Q: Hey Dating Girl! I have the most amazing fiance and thought you would like to hear how he proposed. First he had my mother and aunts trick me by telling me that we were going to take pictures so I would be dressed up because he knew thats what I would want. Around 7:15 p.m. my mom and I were pulling up the driveway. I was texting Jon to see what time he would be home from work and that is when my mom handed me a scroll that Jon had written a note to me on. Thats when I noticed the whole front yard was lit up with candles and torches. There was also a stone path sprinkled with rose petals and glitter with more scrolls with notes that he had written me. At the end he built a stone firepit and columns. The columns had tulle ran across them and ferns on top of them. He also carved hearts into pumpkins for me. I didn't really read the notes on the way cause I was in such a hurry to get to him and when I did he got down on one knee and proposed! It was all very romantic! I told him I felt like I was on the Bachelor. Afterwards we had a small engagement party with our families. It was the greatest night of my life!!! We are getting married May 25, 2007!
A: That’s AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have full chills!!! You’re a very lucky girl. Don’t forget that!!!

Q: So, I was dating/engaged to this girl, and after some really screwed up stuff it kinda ended, we both say we have feeling for each other, but I'm not gonna become someone else, "change" who I was when she met me 1.5 years ago, and she, to me, has cheated. She says she hasn't "done" anything with this guy, but she in the last few weeks has spent more time with him than she has me. I am a firm beliver in the fact you don't have to sleep/do sexual acts with to cheat with someone. How do I get over her or fix this. I am leaving town for 12 weeks to climb Tahoe and she says I'm trying to run away, I say I am just trying to Grieve and not do stupid things. This guy, I know him, we have the same name, hasn't made any effort to defend himself and I know the way she "talks" to him, he would know that I felt something was going on. Is that a big point, I think so, but what do you think? What are your thoughts on this? Write back soon, she get home on Friday and more thoughts on the situation wouldn't hurt.
A: The 12 weeks away will definitely help you move on. 12 weeks is a long time. And I wouldn’t worry about the reason you’re going. It doesn’t really matter as long as you come back with some peace of mind. It sounds like you want to move on, it’s just easier said than done. I know! The less you talk to her, the less communication with her, the better. No emails, no texts, nothing – and you’ll get on easier.
I know it sucks but you’ll be better off. You deserve someone who loves you for who you are and at the same time, makes you the best person you can be!
Hope that helps.

Q: The gf asked me to meet her family. Do I have to or can I make an excuse?
A: If it’s a real relationship with real potential, you should meet them. If it’s a little fling, you can make an excuse.

Q: Hey DG,
I'm 25 and I just started dating this really great guy about 6 weeks ago. We have so much fun together and unlike most people I meet, the more time I spend with him, the more I like him. Now, I'm not 15 anymore so I know that most people seem great for the first 6 weeks, but I really do feel (hope) that this is different. So my question is... who says "I love you" first? I have always had the life rule that I will NEVER say I love you first- the guy should DEFINITELY be the first to utter the phrase, but in a quick office poll, I'm getting mixed results. So I need to know what you think! He always says things like "I like you soooo much" and "I love spending time with you"... how long do guys usually wait before dropping the L word? Do guys want YOU to say it first? Help me out!!
A: The guy should say it! And 6 weeks is early! Give him another month at least. Sometimes it’s not until month 5 or 6! After that I’d worry – red-flag style.
If the girl has to do too much of the traditional boy stuff, it changes the dynamic of the relationship and next thing you know, you’re asking him to move in and you’re proposing. Ok, that’s a stretch, but you get the idea.
I’m sure he wants you to say it first but don’t make it so easy on him!

Q: So I'm seeing this real nice girl, who was/is very much into the outdoors. BONUS. But last year, she had brain surgery, and now has a soft spot on the back of her skull. So she has to be very careful when doing anything physical. Any involvement in a sport, she must wear a helmet. We have a lot of fun, but now that summer is here, she wants to do everything that I do; mtn bike, kayak, rawk climbing, camping etc. But we have played rough before, and I have accidentally hurt her neck, thus her soft spot. I'm afraid to doing any of the outdoorsy stuff I do, with her because I don’t want her to get physically hurt. What should I do?
A: Will she be cured at some point? In any case, take it easy on her. Don’t pressure her to do anything too crazy. Still go out with her if she can’t run or climb or bike.
Take her out to dinner, go on slow walks, go for ice cream. If you’re into her, just be sweet – don’t baby her but don’t make her feel like she needs to do crazy things to please you!
Hope that helps.

Q: So I like this girl who is also very active in this group with me. But I am afraid of making it awkward for either of us so I am hesitant to make a major move. So I'm just sorta chill'n and waiting for everything to unfold. which is normally a bad move (I think), cuz girls like to be pursued a little bit (not in a weird stalker way). For Valentine’s day, I sent her some nice flowers without a card, and a bunch of us went out for dinner/ my birthday.
So should I try and make a move soon, or like wait till the summer or something. I feel it would be a big deal in either of our lives if there was an awkward rift between us that upset our group activities. So maybe just leave it lay???? DG HELP
A: I need some more info! What’s the group?
How did she react to the flowers? Did she know they were from you even though you didn’t put a card?
If you’re sending her flowers on Valentine’s, could asking her out make things weird? She must know you’re interested. If she gushed over the flowers, then she’s probably expecting/ hoping for a date. If she thought the flowers were a friendly gesture, then I’d let it lie.
Give me more deets and I can help more!!

Q: Hello Dating girl,
Bad breakup last week. She wanted the short-notice long-term action. Only problem is, she doesn't do too much outdoors, and thats a deal breaker. I am relatively sure that all women who are attractive and do outdoors things work for moosejaw. Therefore, I am submitting my application to become the dating guy, my advise might be bollocks, but hey, you get what you pay for.
A: So sorry about the break up. It sucks! I know!
Unfortunately, I can't have a dating guy - mean lawyer's rules! Still love you though.
Hang in there and definitely chime in on any advice I give if you think it sucks!!
Love a second opinion.

Q: My boyfriend and I have been together for three months exactly, today. My feelings for him are so so strong and we both love each very much. The thing is though, we spend all of our time together if neither of us as are at work, or if we're not sleeping or showering or whatever at our own houses. He left yesterday for Tennessee to visit some family he has down there. I miss him so much and find myself thinking about him every ten minutes. What I neeed to know is if Im completely overly obsessed with him. Thanks :)
A: Just enjoy it! There’s no better feeling than being in love and knowing someone loves you back! Assuming he loves you just as much as you love him, then you’re all good! It is nice to have a little independence though. And, don’t lose your friends!
Otherwise, have fun!!

Q: Hey Dating Girl, I need a little help here. Ok I need a lot of help!
The situation: I like this girl Nikki. Her and I are good friends so that is the first problem. (I will try to keep the explanation of the problems short) I fear getting shot down by her.(second problem) Third problem I used to work with her dad and we are really good friends also. I am not sure how he would react to me trying to get in his daughters britches so to speak. Nikki and I are going to the Penn State football game this weekend and I would really like to ask about us but all problems that I have mentioned are kinda in the way. Any suggestions? If you know of any blonde Australian surfer chicks that are single that would solve the dilemma also!
A: Sounds like her dad would like you with his daughter. If it has to be someone, why not someone he likes? Don’t worry about him not liking you with her. As far as getting shot down, you do it like this, “One of these days I’m going to forget the fact that we aren’t friends and just ask you out.” See what her reaction is. She’ll probably laugh. Then you say, “If I did that, what would you say?” She’ll play dumb and say, “What do you mean?” You say, “If I asked you out on a date, what would you say?” If she turns you down, she’ll say, “I’d say we’re too good of friends.” Then you say, “That’s what I was thinking too.” And you’re out with very little humiliation!
Hope that helps!
Let me know how it goes. I’ll be waiting for an update.

Q: My wife and I split about 5 months ago after 10 years together and recently I've found comfort with a fantastic young woman. Last night her and another fella (not me) slept in the same bed. If I knew how to put emphasis on the slept I would but I don't so I won't. She swears they just slept, no hankey pankey no nothing. I don't know what to do because she is pretty super and she apparently thinks the same of me. Am I really just retarded for wanting to be with her still? Don't know what to do. Worried that I am still wanting to be with her because of the wonderful baggage that I am still carrying around from my past horrible relationship and that it's clouding my view. So I guess I need a little direction because I'm freaking the F out. P.S. She shags like a manx, thats kinda important to factor into the answer.
A: You can give her the benefit of the doubt this time BUT, let her know that even sleeping next to another guy isn’t cool with you. If you’re exclusive, she should only have you next to her at night. I’m not sure how long you’ve been hanging out or if you’re exclusive or not, but either way, that would make me very uncomfortable. Make sure she knows not to do it again!

Q: I was with this girl for 2 1/2 yrs, lived together and everything. We split about 7 months ago and she moved to back to AZ and I talked to her about 3 times since we broke up. She lied, cheated and used me for $. So...just talked to her and she said she has changed (for the better) and wants to come back (to Michigan). I asked her to go on a rafting trip leaving in 2 weeks, but not sure if I can trust her (think is may be using me for a ticket back here), should I have her go with me or should I break all ties with her and move on?
A: Lying, cheating and using you for money are 3 terrible things. They aren’t just little I’ll-change-em things either. They’re part of your personality.
If you can let her go and truly move on, let her go. If you decide to get back together, definitely move slowly and make sure she really has changed for the long term, not just until she’s spent a little more of your money!
Hope that helps.

Q: Dear Dating girl I've been dating this girl for about 7 months and its been rocky. In the beginning i was way more into here and now I've to realize my friends were right and we just don't fit. I like to hunt, golf, fish and socialize and she doesn't. She is a complete drag i mean we don't even have fun together. I really love and care about her but its just not meant to be. How do i break it to her because i don't want to hurt her feelings?
A: You should be honest and break it off as soon as possible. The worst part is when we feel like we’ve been strung along for more time than necessary. Tell her you really like her but you’re just not feeling the chemistry between the two of you. The more respectful you can be the better and the best way is to be open and honest. Let me know how it goes.
Good luck and Love the Madness,

Q: So what's the deal with women and sex? Do some women just not like sex? I'm getting married soon to someone who seems to enjoy it, but HAS NEVER made the first move, is really passive in bed, and as a result we have sex about 1-2 times a month. It makes me feel rejected, and I don't normally have those kind of feelings. We've talked about it, but she just gets super ticked when I bring it up. What's the deal?
A: Yes, some women just don’t like it but that’s pretty seldom. I know you’ve already talked about it, but you need to tell her how you feel rejected and hurt, not just that you want to have it more. It’s more than just that act you’re missing. You’re missing the intimacy and closeness too. Get into the feelings part of it all. Girls get that! It usually doesn’t get better after you’re married either so try to find some sort of compromise sooner than later!
Hope that helps.

Q: I met a girl this weekend with a group of her friends and we ended up hanging out 1 on 1 the rest of the night. We're both taking the LSAT soon and she told me to call her so we could study together. I have trouble deciding when to call, how much I can call, how many invitations I can extend etc. I'd love to talk to her a lot! But I know I can't call every day or else I'm coming on too strong. And I know I have to call SOME or else I seem uninterested. When do you call a girl for the first time after meeting her? When do you invite her out? If she can't then how long before you try again? I need a schedule here!
A: So you met her this weekend. Call her tonight or Tuesday and ask her out for this weekend. Fri is usually easier than Sat so ask for a Friday night date. You can take her to dinner. Here’s the thing. When you ask her out for Friday, and she says yes, say “Great. I’ll call you later this week to give you the deets.” Then you can call her again Thurs! Take her out Friday. Then you can call her Sunday. You can either ask her out then if you want a weeknight date or call again by Wed to ask her out for the weekend again. After a couple dates, she’ll start initiating calls too then you can increase to talking every other day or so. Then everyday. Then twice a day. Then marriage and happily ever after!!
Love the Madness.

Q: Hey...I was wondering, what is the best way to go about asking out a teller that works at my bank. I see her almost every time I go in there, but I never know what to say to her. Is it inappropriate to ask her out while she is at work? Thanks.
A: Sure! you won’t see her outside of the bank so you might as well! You have to just go for it. “I need to cash this check and I need your phone number so I can ask you out!” If she says no, you’ll have to switch branches.
Let me know how it goes!!

Q: Dear Dating Girl,
So my boyfriend and I have been dating for quite some time (1 year and 7 months today to be precise) and it has been great. Ups and downs have come and gone... But now we are in a new chapter of our lives. We are at different schools this year (bum bum bum!). I'm at Purdue and he's way up in the UP at Nothern Michigan University. What can we do to keep our relationship going? I am going up to visit him on my October break...should I have any expectations? I don't know! I'm so excited and so nervous.
A: You have to be able to trust each other. If you’re away more than you’re together, you’ll need complete trust.
You’ll need love and email. You’ll need a big budget for phone calls and lots of Airline Miles!!
Really though, if you have the trust and love, everything else will work out.
Yes, you should have expectations. After a year and 7 months, you should expect him to be as great a boyfriend as he’s ever been. Expect everything and he should expect the same of you. Be completely open and honest with each other if it’s not up to par and you’re on the right path!

Q: I've been in a long-term relationship for a while and am absolutely heels-over-head bonkers for this girl. It's great, but that's not the problem. the problem is that there is this girl that I knew in Grad school that I viewed only as a friend, and was told by this girl that she only viewed me as a friend, but evidently others got the wrong impression. My family and gf did happen to meet her once and all thought that there were more than platonic vibes girating from invading girls hips. Ya feelin' me? So my question is two-fold:
1.) Do girls have a 6th sense that I'm not aware that allows them to detect whether or not other girls are "into" guys (including their guy)? 2.) This girl has made SeVeRaL attempts at just keeping in contact with me, but now I'm afraid that any contact will be misinterpreted. what should I do/not do?
A: Don’t start with the other girl. No reason to upset your GF. Yes, we have a sixth sense, and sometimes it isn’t even warranted. There’s no upside to being friends with the school girl if it upsets your GF. Just fade out with her. NBD style. (no big deal – style). Unless she’s got a thing for you, she wont even notice. If she does have a thing for you, it’s a perfect reason to fade her out.

Q: My Dearest Dating Girl,
I lost my last girlfriend a while back during a backpacking trip. There was a bear chasing us and we both started running. Of course you can't outrun a bear, but I've always heard you don't have to as long as you can outrun the person you're with. Now I don't know for sure if the bear got her because I had my IPOD on while I was running, but I haven't seen her since. I thought of going back to look for her, but then I thought... why? She could be just fine and truly happy in the woods.
So now I'm back at home and single again. I'm 28 years old (almost 29) and I live with my mom. I've not had much luck at finding women that appreciate the economic sensibility of this arrangement. Certainly there are some out there? So my question is would I have more luck trying for women my age or would the 18-21 range be better for someone like me? And where should I meet them? I don't do bars and they won't let me come back to church. Any advice would be appreciated.
A: You are a little old to be livin with Mama! A girl’s take is likely: If you don’t live on your own, how are you going to take me home, cook for me, have me sleep over, etc.
You probably would have better luck with someone a little younger, but you don’t want to limit yourself. Just keep going out and testing the waters.
To meet girls, try the dog park (bring a friend’s dog if you have to), coffee shops, bookstores, hardware stores (you have to be prepared to help the gals!), gyms, outdoor gyms, online dating sites, etc.
Let me know what you think!

Q: Hey DG!!! Here's a good one:
There is a really awesome girl, I iike her, and she likes me back. It really is perfect, except yesterday one of my friends asked her out on a date... which was kind of weird/awkward. I'm pretty sure he knew that we had something going on (we're not "officially" going out yet), but I guess he decided to ignore it?! Now the girl and I are kind of confused: what the heck are we supposed to do now? I don't want to lose him as a friend, but I don't want to lose her either. Thanks so much.
A: I assume she said no, right? Tell him the story as if it’s funny that you like the same girl and as if he didn’t know that you were already dating her. “Do you know you asked out the girl I’m seeing!? So funny!! Maybe next time!”
That way you get it out there and it won’t be awkward anymore.
Thoughts?

Q: So here's the situation... My friends set me up with this cute Italian girl and we went out on a date. Everything went well on the date. Here's the problem, that was like two weeks ago and we haven't gone out again yet. The thing is, we're both SUPER busy, and its usually my calendar that prevents us from hanging out again. how can I be sure she's actually interested and not just going through the motions? We've finally managed to make plans for date number 2 this weekend. Is there anything I can do to make sure the two weeks in between date #1 and #2 don't make things awkward? I don't even know what a good second date is.
What do I do now?
A: Date #2 will be kind of like date #1 again since you're on a 2 wk hiatus. Not a prob at all since you got the second date. Just do date 1 again - with a little less formality. Take her out for a nice dinner. You don't have to be too creative - that can be a lot of pressure for a girl! Keep it simple. As long as conversation flows and you make her laugh, you're right back in!
You can kiss her on date 2 but don't French too much just yet!!
Email and let me know how it goes.

Q: Dating Girl,
I know that it's not good and often not legitimate to stereotype girls' actions, but are there some good tell-tale signs that a girl is interested? I find it hard to tell. thanks,
A: She'll laugh at all your jokes.
She'll touch your arm.
She'll flip her hair.
She'll listen and look at you.
She won't wanna leave the date.
All good signs!
Love the Madness. You rock too!

Q: How do I get a girlfriend?
A: Get out there! You can’t stay home and think she’s going to knock on your door. You have to go out to bars (if you’re 21), book stores, coffee shops, the gym, dog parks, etc.
The more you go out, the better your chances.
Don’t shy away from the internet either. Go to myspace, match.com, etc and see who’s there.
You also have to be kind of aggressive and actually ask girls out! You can’t just look and cross your fingers!
Hope that helps.

Q: Hi DG,
I’m having a problem with apprehension. The other day I was shopping at a crowded upscale shopping center place. Now I’m not 100% sure but I could feel the eyes of some girls on me and they started following me around as I wondered. So I got more and more apprehensive as they got closer and I felt embarrassed for myself. I have the same problem when I’m singled out in social situations, i.e. classes, parties, and just all around. I really don’t like this feeling and I thought I was comfortable with myself. What’s up with me and how do I become more comfortable in my own skin. I think I’m pretty good looking, not trying to be shallow, but I seem to avoid a lot of situations in order to take the attention off of me. It feels as though I have something in my teeth or my fly is open and I just close up. So what’s up with that?
A: You just need a little confidence! Or a lot of confidence. You said yourself that you’re a good lookin guy and I’m sure you are if you’ve got girls following you around.
Anyway, just remember that the people you’re hiding from are just people! Some may think they’re cooler, but really, you can be just as cool! It’s all in the confidence.
Fake it ‘til you make it!!
Hope that helps a little.

Q: It's been about 8 months of mostly bliss, and he's starting to pull away. It's a gut feeling I have, backed by the fact that I can't remember the last date we've been on (even though he still comes over and crawls in bed with me every night around 11 as i'm falling asleep). I've told him I really want us to have some quality time together, but it hasn't happened. It's making me feel needy/clingy when I do get time with him... But then I resent him for picking things other than me when we're not together. He loves having me around, but he's not making the effort to show me he loves me, at least, not the way he used to. How do I get through the next 4 days without a)obsessing over it b)writing him off and beginning to move on prematurely?
A: That totally sucks. I know that feeling and it’s NO fun! Unfortunately, every time I’ve felt that, I’ve been right. I’m not saying he’s losing interest. Your instincts may not be as good as mine! I am saying that you should put your guard up a little and be aware. Keep going with him. Keep things great and fun. And most importantly, keep the communication as open as possible.
Chin up!!
Let me know what you think.

Q: Dear DG please help me!
Okay, so here's my dilemma...recently I've been hanging out (just as friends) with this great guy - shredding, climbing, adventuring and stuff. It's pretty obvious that he is into me, which would be fine except that 1. I don't feel the same and 2. I have a super gigantic crush on his friend. Can I flirt with the friend and see what happens, or is that just a terrible idea? Please don't say it's terrible, I really, really like him...
Thank you! You're the best!
A: It’s terrible right now. You can flirt a little to get the idea out there but if the friend starts making moves on you, he’ll either 1. Ask his friend if it’s alright or 2. Decide it’s not worth a friendship or 3. Do whatever he wants. If he does 1 or 2, you could be hurting due to timing. If you ignore friend 1 a little right now (not a lot), then he’ll fade and you can start moving in on the new guy. Then it won’t be quite as close to home.
Let me know what you think.

Q: Hey DG,
How does one meet someone out on the trail, get to know them better but not come across as a serial killer out stalking in the woods? You know all those mangy haired psychos out there have really made life tough on us nice single guys looking for companionship?
A: You have to almost have her engage you instead of the opposite. If you put yourself in the right place, at the right time, you can do it! So if she’s stopped for lunch and you have to rearrange your pack, and you just happen to have the coolest new water filter, and she needs water, then you’re set. It doesn’t have to be that complicated either. Even if you’re just tying your shoes near her, ask for directions but then she has to carry the convo. So after she gives you directions, she has to comment on the weather, etc. If you don’t get this little nudge from her, your only option is to be bold and chance the whole serial killer thing.
Hope that helps!

How does one meet someone out on the trail, get to know them better but not come across as a serial killer out stalking in the woods? You know all those mangy haired psychos out there have really made life tough on us nice single guys looking for companionship?
